Languidic is right in the heart of the valley of the River Blavet, 30 km from both Lorient and Auray. This beautiful river flows gently through forests and heathland, checked only by the locks which were built by Napoleonic prisoners. Here wildlife abounds. There are magnificent walks and mountain bike circuits.<br/><br/>
Kermarhin is a hamlet deep in the countryside, but with easy access to shops and towns. You will see buzzards wheeling overhead in the clear air, green woodpeckers and many other wild animals and birds. But only the owls will disturb you!
Blavet, which winds its way from Pontivy to Hennebont.The Atlantic beaches, only 30 mins away, are safe and sandy. Within easy reach: Auray and its charming port of St Goustan, Vannes with its cathedral and ramparts at the head of the Gulf of Morbihan, Belle Ile by boat from Quiberon, etc.
Hidden away down green lanes is Poul Fétan, an old Breton village where you can see how life was led 150 years ago. See the cows being milked, the butter being churned and the bread baked in a traditional stone oven. Even the people of the village are dressed as they were in those days.
